I dont’ know why something so simple just wouldn’t work the way I wanted it to. Seems to be a trend in my life these days. So this is a scrap. I thought the yarn was to thin so I lower hook size then it was to small and flimsy…Added a filler yarn and it made it to stiff and bulky plus to large. It was frustrating because it was so simple…I am ripping it out and trying again.

UPDATE: Thank you snipsnaphappy…she has given me advise and I have fixed the problem. I mostly just made it to long. So a good nights sleep and a new perspective…I took out rows to make the total length 21”. This has made a big difference.
